A Brief Word about ConnerCoon
4 years ago
I received word the other day that another raccoon artist, 
connercoon, had passed away due to COVID19 complications.
I did not know Conner well, but I certainly knew OF him, and I'm sure I'd bumped into him at least somewhere or another. I know he had a lot of friends, and his passing is very sad and tragic.
Apparently he sometimes went by the nickname "cooner" among friends, and I've had a few people approach me to make sure I was okay, or to express panic that they thought they'd heard I had passed on. I wanted to reassure folks that, for the moment, I'm doing fine and not going anywhere. I've had my first vaccine shot (eligible due to other health conditions) and I'm still masking up and social distancing and keeping safe, and I intend to ride out the rest of this pandemic and see everyone at conventions on the other side once it's safe to do so.
Conner is a sad reminder though of how life is short and precious. Everyone please keep safe and take care of yourselves out there, and remember to set aside a little time to connect with the folks you care about when you have a chance, because you never know if the unexpected might happen.
Peace and love, to everyone. ❤️

I hope he can rest in peace...and that his husband will be able to cover all the expenses and make it through this okay...
That was exactly how I felt, actually, down to the same confusion!
